No Grapes Necessary: Explore Wine’s Alternative Universe
Wineries in almost every state create award-winning wines from berries, orchard fruit, artisan honey, even pumpkins and rhubarb; lending rural, old-time recipes new levels of craftsmanship.
But these wines are made in small batches, and finding them in stores is nearly impossible.
Now, acquiring them is easy. Use our searches — below and the to the left — to find the artisan fruit wines you want, shippable to the state of your choice, and order them direct from the wineries themselves. 21+ only.
We launched September 28, 2011, and we’re adding new products all the time. We currently feature 84 wines, hard ciders and fruit spirits you can’t find in stores.

— George Saintsbury
Honey Wines
“The history of the term honeymoon dates back to the Norse, who would drink a quantity of mead (honey wine) for the first month (moon) of marriage.”
— The Voice, U.K. newspaper
Non-Shipping Wineries
Plenty of wineries sell their wines, ciders and liquors exclusively to folks who visit their tasting rooms. Choose a state and see who else makes fruit wine — just not for delivery.
